Original Note:
Sea level rise in NY and globally has been documented by scientific bodies. The comparison of the two photos is misleading as it doesn’t account for tidal fluctuations. The sea level near Liberty Island has risen 9 inches since 1880 (1 foot every 100 years) according to NOAA. https://apnews.com/article/fact-check-photos-statue-of-liberty-sea-level-930874955722
